MULTI-CRITERIA ANALYSIS AS A TOOL FOR MUNICIPAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

The management of municipal properties represents a major component of the public management and for the well-functioning and development of municipal property the creation of a strategic portfolio of municipal property is necessary. This paper discusses the employment of the multi-criteria analysis in the municipal property management, with the aim of finding the most convenient destinations of municipal assets. It includes the results obtained up to now in the on-going project “Municipal Property Management in South-Eastern Cities (PROMISE)”, which concentrates on the development of a comprehensive system for municipal property classification and assessment, so as to find an appealing combination between the use of properties for their own needs and for attracting investment and promoting sustainable development of their cities and regions as well.
